Description Ilkka Pirskanen 2005-09-01 14:30:21 UTC 
In the very first installation dialog, installation language is selected from 
a list of languages. All languages in this dialog are written in their native 
language. Currently, all languages with latin alphabet are capitalized.

In many languages, language names are not proper names and therefore should 
not be capitalized.

So Finnish ("suomi") should be written in lowercase.

Add any other languages to this bug entry which should be written in lowercase.
Comment 1 Karl Eichwalder 2005-09-01 15:37:00 UTC 
I'm inclined to rate the report as "invalid".  Most languages I'm aware of start
(incomplete) sentences capitalized.
Comment 2 Ines Pozo 2005-09-01 15:40:48 UTC 
Most but apparently not all of them. Karl, please follow the discussion on 
yast-int. We have decided to leave it as is for SL 10.0 but we should look 
into it for future versions. That's why I asked Ilkka to file a bug report.
Comment 3 Ines Pozo 2005-09-02 09:06:29 UTC 
Also pending on how Novell's style guide handles this issue. To be checked 
with Arturo (not a time-critical issue).
Comment 4 Karl Eichwalder 2005-09-02 11:22:30 UTC 
Okay, but let's resolve it as "later".
Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:33:01 UTC 
mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)

Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
